Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“They are very professional and they are like family . They are very good at what they do. They are very kindhearted and very helpful in helping you make sure your loved one is well taken care of. The decision making was easier with their desire to please the family in what they wanted and how they would like things to be. I love them all, I truly can't say or could see anything that could have been better than what they suggested or that could have been done differently. I am glad I chose them to take care of my husband Jimmie Hughes. Thank you all for being so supportive and helpful but especially for being so kind to me. Love, Sharon Sue Hughes”
